My first job ever was on 'Peak Practice.' I just had to walk up the stairs. They kept the take where I slipped slightly, which was annoying.

It is Method on 'This is England;' it is. But it can't be Method on every job because it just doesn't work for everything.

If you have a passion and love for something, it's hard to give it up. I had jobs where the people were helpful and let me go to auditions, and I'd make up the hours another day. I was lucky in that respect: I could afford to get to London.

I don't need a trailer; I don't need to have the luxuries of what is Hollywood, which is why I'm probably not so desperate to get there.

I'd like to do something where there's a strong female character and some action. I've done a few stunts in the past.

I get to have Sunday lunch at my mum's, pick my nephew up from school now and then: it's a very normal life.
